The hospital has wi-fi, and mommy and baby are finally asleep, but for some reason I can't, even though I've had less than 5 hours in the past 48.
Anyway, our son came out at 1:14 central time today.

Photos are probably not forthcoming. It's one thing to put info for me out on the intarwebs, but I'm a bit hesitant to send out pix of a defenseless kid while we're still in the hospital. Probably we'll change our mind eventually - he is pretty damn cute.
8 lb, 3 1/2 oz, 20 in long, 67 hours of labor culminating in a C-section.

I understand. Too bad they didn't decide on a C-section about 43 hours earlier than they did. Glad they are both OK. My 9lb 4 oz son was a C-section, so I know it's no picnic. Your sweet wife deserves a few days rest!

Seeing as how we were due on the 17th and even 36 straight hours of pitocin couldn't get Frankie out, we're not exactly full of good advice on bringing about the kiddies sooner. (Though maybe you should remind Karen of the tax advantages of going before midnight Monday)

Hmmmmmmm.....did your wife try going to a class reunion and dancing??
viewtopic.php?t=2414
Although Eileen
did go into labor after the reunion, Rose was also born by C-section after more than 40 hours of labor. Now for the horror story (spoilered for the squeamish):
She says she felt the cuts. The OR staff told her, Oh, it's just "pressure." She had surgery previously, and knew the difference between "pressure" and
"scissors cutting her flesh!" She suspected that the anesthesiologist was diverting drugs for his own use
A couple years later, when she had Marcy by planned C-section, she told the hospital that she did
not want "Dr. X" in the OR, because of the previous experience. It turned out that "Dr. X" had committed suicide about a year earlier -- she was absolutely right about the drug business. She probably could have had a good lawsuit there, but didn't do it. We have NOT told Karen this story.
Unspoilering -- this is a happy thread, no more horror stories
And if Frankie can reach back into Fetus-Land for a sec & give Angelo a tug, we'd sure appreciate it!

Frankie!
Happy Birthday, Frankie!
May you give your parents fits and starts and become your own man.
May you have a life you love and love the life you have.

Isabella wish to reserve the right to call him "Frankie" as a friend, "Frank" as a business associate, and "Francisco Miguel" if she finds him romantically irresistable.
